Where were puppies raised?
Great companions are raised in the house with people, not out in the yard in a dirt pen! The places they are raised shows the effort made to properly socialize the puppies. This breed can be aloof, so great efforts should be made by a breeder in the first 8 weeks to introduce puppies to as much as possible – dishwashers, T.V., vacuum cleaners, children, numerous people, cats, loud noises, etc. Being kept in an 8X10 outside run or in a garage does nothing for the temperament of your puppy.
